STRONTIUM SOOTHING SPRAY (4 oz) This unique spray in a 4 oz. pump combines for the first time the two
ingredients that have proven so successful in rosacea therapy: Willowherb
Extract and Strontium Chloride Hexahydrate. Plus two of the most potent
rosacea anti-oxidants, Grapeseed Extract and Green Tea Concentrate, and
the refreshing coolness of Cucumber! This spray is designed for use in what we call "After" situations: after working out, after hot showers, after exposure to environmental insults (wind, cold, too much sun) and certainly for the men, after shaving. Whatever and whenever the occasion calls for relief from burning, stinging,
irritation or inflammation, simply close your eyes tightly and spray your
face lightly from eight to ten inches away. Can be used as often as needed
and can be applied even over makeup. |

Like the Rosacea Care Calming Lotion, the Strontium Soothing Spray contains COSMEDERM-7™, a compound developed by Dr. Gary Hahn, one of America's foremost skin care researchers and a clinical professor at the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Hahn is consulting on all phases of the formulation of our rosacea-friendly strontium nitrate and strontium chloride hexahydrate products. COSMEDERM-7™ is the first compound that selectively blocks the irritation-producing nerve endings (type C nociceptors) that become activated when itching, burning and stinging occur from any cause. It is highly selective in its activity and is extremely safe. (Strontium, in fact, is a natural element found in many of the foods we eat, especially green, leafy vegetables. It is the eighth most abundant element in seawater.) Dr. Geoffrey Nase, generally considered the leading researcher on the vascular components of rosacea and author of the definitive new book called Beating Rosacea, has said this about the incorporation of strontium into skincare products: "Recent clinical studies demonstrate that when strontium nitrate is applied to the facial skin, it significantly reduces skincare-induced burning, stinging and facial redness. These findings are very important to rosacea sufferers who report facial burning and flushing to topical skincare products and environmental insults such as wind, sun, heat and cold." For most users, the combined action of the Strontium and the Willowherb Extract will be noticed within seconds, and the effects will be long-lasting. For others, especially moderate to severe rosacea sufferers with chronic or intense facial burning, the build-up of effectiveness may be experienced over a longer period of usage but with significant results. Users whose skin is broken or open may experience a brief period of light stinging which is completely normal and should quickly calm and disappear. Avoid contact with the eyes. If contact occurs, wash thoroughly with water. |
